Arrived of Four Commissioners from the Prisoners—The Suffering of Its Inmates—Shocking Barbarity — Wholesale-Mortality, fc. Among the Passengers who ar rived at New York from Hilton Head, S. C., are four exchanged prisoners—Messrs. E. Bates, Forty second New York,; P. Tracy, Eighty-second New' York ; H. C. Higgginson, Nineteenth Illinois, and S. Noirot, Fifth New Jersey— commissioners appointed at a mon ster meeting of the- 35,000 Union prisoners confined in Camp Sumter, AndersonviUe, Ga., to wait upon the Executive at Washington, with a petition 'praying that immediate action be taken to terminate then sufferings, either by parole or ex change—sufferings described to be almost incredible. : Two-thirds of them are without .shelter. of any kind toi protect them from the fierce rays of a tropical sun, and the cold, heavy dews and thunder showers peculiar to that climate. The com missioners describe; the food upon which the prisoners entirely and exclusively subsist as of a character to produce nausea even in, the hun griest stomachs, consisting of bread made from unbolted: corn meal, half ground, badly baked and without salt, with about two ounces of fat, rancid and rusty bacon (daily ration,) fit only for the soap factory. The water used by those unhappy men is literally poisonous, being taken from a muddy, oozy stream that flows for half A mile through impurities of the filthiest and most noxious character, before it enters the stockade, or bull pen, in which' our brave fellows are huddled as thick as herrings packed in a batreh The clothes worn by a majority of the prisoners are miserable shreds and patches, insufficient even for the purposes of ordinary decency, filled with vermin, and altogether presen ting scenes saddening and humilia ting to pur commdn humanity.- The results are an amounted disease and a mortality truly fearful. "When the commission left the beastly pen, on the 7th instant, the deaths had reached one hundred and forty-three ALTOONA, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1864* per day, /and this without any epidemic among the prisoners ; and from the rapid increase of deaths daily occurring at Camp Sumter, the mortality must have reached, by this date, at least one hundred and eighty daily—soon, doubtless, to ascend to two hundred a day The nature of the diseases which sweep away our brave, fellows, as with a scythe of death, are diarrhoea, dysentery and scurvy, with, recently increasing, typhoid fever. As indi cating the ravages of disease pro duced by the causes already stated, the deaths since the opening of the prison on the 24th of last February up to the 3lst of July were 6,890. lu the month of July alone the deaths were 2,180, including 550 from scurvy-. It is added—and it makes the picture heartrending—that upwards of four hundred of the prisoners are maniacs wandering through the camp, their minds having given way by the fearful prospect—-de spairing of ever being exchanged or paroled. Thousands of these pris oners have spent from eleven to fifteen months in Belle Island and Camp Sumter, and no words of lope ever reach them that they will be exchanged. Indeed, so terrible is the agony of mind endured by the prisoners that dozens of them are shot down weekly on the “dead ine,” where they rush and invite the guards to kill them, in order to terminate their sufferings—an in vitation always carefully complied with, being in strict accordance with the instructions to the guards to shoot any- prisoner who infringes on the “dead 1 ine.” These are terrible facts to lay before our government and the public, and cry aloud for immediate and effective action on the part of those whose duty it is to protect those who have fought so nobly, so unselfishly, and so pat riotiea.llv for our conntrv. . , • THE PRISONERS MEMOKI At TO LIN COHN. CONFEDERATE STATES-PRISON, ( Charleston, S. C., August 1864. / To the President of the United States I The couditiuu of the enlisted men belonging to the Union armies, now prisoners to the Confederate rebel forces, is such that it becomes our duty, and the duty of every com missioned! officer, to make known tire facts in the case to the Govern ment of the United States, and to use every honorable effort to secure a general exchange of prisoners, thereby relieving thousands of our comrades from the horrors now sur rounding them. For some time past there has been a concentration of prisoners from all parts of the rebel territory to the State of Georgia—the commissioned officers being confined at Macon, and the enlisted men at Andersou ville. Recent movements of the Union armies under General Sher man have compelled the removal of prisoners to other points, and it is now understood that they will be removed to Savannah, Georgia, and Columbus and Charleston, South Carolina. But no change of this kind holds out any prospect of relief to our poor men. Indeed, as the localities selected' are far more unhealthy, must be an in crease rather than a diminution of suffering. Colonel Hill, Provost Marshal General, Confederate States Army, at Alanta, stated to one of the undersigned that there were thirty five thousand, prisoners at Ander sonville, and by all accounts from the United States soldiers who have been confined there the number is not Overstated by him. These thirty-five thousand are confined in a field of some thirty acres, enclosed by a board fence, heavily guarded. About one third have various kinds of indifferent shelter; but upwards of thirty thousand are wholly with out shelter, ’or even shade, of .any kind, andijare exposed to the storms and rains, which ate of almost daily occurrence; the cold dews of the night, and : the more terrible effects of the sun striking with almost tropical fierceness upon their un protected heads. This mass of men Jostle and crowd each other up and down the enclosure, in storm or sim, and others lie down upon the pitiless earth at night, with no other covering than.: the clothing upon [independent in their backs, few of! them having even a blanket, ' Upon entering the prison every man .is deliberately; stripped of money andother property, and $s no clothing or blankets are ever sup plied to their prisoners by the rebel authorities the condition of the apparel of the soldiers just from an active campaign, can| be easily im agined. Thousands I are without pants or coats, and hundreds with out even a pair of drawers to cover their nakedness. To these men, as indeed to all prisoners, there is issued three quarters oft a pound of bread or meal, and one-eighth of a pound of meat per day. This is the entire ration, and'upon it the priso ner must live or die. The meal is ofter unsifted and sour, and the meat such as in the North i$ consigned to the soapmaker. S uch are the rations upon which Union soldiers; are fed by the rebel authorities, and by which they are barely holding on to I lite. But to starvation and exposure to sun and storm, add the sickness which prevails to a. most alarming and terrible extent, \ On an average one hundred die daily. It is impossible that any Un ion soldier should know all the facts pertaining to this terrible mortality, as they are not paraded by the rebel authorities. Such statements as the following, made by , speaks eloquent testimony. Said he : “Of twelve of us who were captured, six died, four are in the hospital, and I never expect to see them again.— There are but two of us left.” In 1862, at Montgomery, Alabama, un der far more favorable circumstan ces, the prisoners being protected by sheds, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred were sich from di arrhoea and chills, out of seven hun dred. The same per centage would give seven thousand si;ck at Auder sonville. It needs no comment, no efforts at word paintiiig, to make such a picture stand out boldly in most horrible colors. Nor is that all. Among the ill fated of the many who have suffered amputation in consequence of'inju ries received before capture, sent from rebel hospitals before their wounds were healed, there are elo quent witnesses of the barbarities of wdiich they are victims. If to these facts is added this, that noth ing more demoralizes soldiers and developes the evil passions of man than starvation, the terrible condi tion of the Union prisoners at An dersonville can be readily imagined. They are fast losing hope, and be coming utterly of life.— Numbers, crazed by their sufferings, wander about in a state of idiocy; others deliberately cross the “ dead line,” and are remorselessly shot down. In behalf of these ip en we most ernestly appeal to the President of the United States. Few df them have been captured except in the front of\battle, in the deadly en counter, and only when overpowered by numbers. They constitute as gal lant a portion of our armies as carry our banners anywhere. If released they would soon return again to do vigorous battle for our cause. We are told that the only ojbstacle in the way of exchange is the status of en listed negroes captured from our ar mies, the United States claiming that the cartel covers all who serve un der its flag, and the; Confederate States refusing to consider the col ored soldiers, heretofore slaves, as prisoners of w r ar. We beg leave to suggest some facts bearing upon the question of exchange, which we would urge up on this consideration. Is it not con sistent with the national honor, with out waving the claim lhat the negro gro soldiers shall be treated as pris oners of war, to effec| an exchange of the white soldieris? The two classes are treated differently by the enemy. The whites ! in such pris ons > as Libby and Andersonville, starved and threated with a barbar ism unknown to civilized nations. The blacks, on the eountrary, are seldom imprisoned. They are dis tributed among the citizens, -or em ployed on government works. Under these circumstances | they receive enough to eat, and ar£ worked no harder than they have been accus tomed to be. > They ai|e neither star ved nor killed off by the pestilence in the dungeons of Richmond and Charleston. It is true they are again’made slaves; but their slavery is freedom and happiness compared with the cruel existence imposed Upon our gallant men. They are Hot bereft of hope, as are the white soldiers, dying by piecemeal. Their chances of escape are tenfold greater than those of the w’hite soldiers, and their Condition* in all its lights, is tolerable in comparison with *that of the prison era of war now languish ing in the dens and pens of seces sion. While, therefore, believing the claims of our government, in mat ters of exchange, to be just, we are pro foundly impressed with the convic tion that the circumstances of the two classes pf soldiers are so widely differ ent that the government can honor ably consent to an exchange, waiving for a time the established principle justly claimed to be applicable in the case. Let thirty-five thousand suffering, starving and dying enlis ted men aid this appeal. By prompt and decided action in their behalf thirty-five thousand heroes will be made happy. For the .eighteen hundred commissioned officers, now prisoners, we urge nothing.. Al though desirous of returning to bur duty, we Can bear imprisonment with more fortitude if the enlisted men, whose sufferings we know to be intolerable, were restord to lib erty and life. THRILLING NARRATIVE A correspondent of the Missouri Republican was a passenger on the train from Chattanooga to Nash ville, which on the 29th ult., met with w-hat might have been a dread ful catastrophe.. The.road passes over the Cumberland Mountains. On the eastern slope the train is pushed up, but on the western slope the train slides down, its motion ar rested by a close application of the brakes, and, if necessary, a reversal of the engine. About midnight of the day in question, the correspon dent was asleep, but was startled suddenly into wakefulness by an unusual, extraordinary noise. On looking thro’ The glass door at the end of the car its origin was mani fest; he beheld a sight which no mortal man, having once looked upon, could ever forget. Two trains had started at the same time as the one in which he rode. It was about half way down the mountain, (the grade being very steep,) about two miles from the foot of the grade. The two trains in the rear were at the usual dis tance, ‘when suddenly,’ exclaims the as if the brakes were out of order, and would not work, the train behind us started forward with the rapidity of light ning, and came tearing furiously toward us. Our engineer put on all steam in the endeavor to escape; the engineer of the crazy train re versed his engine, hut it was all in vain. The train was under too much headway! It Vas when it had reached to less tuan pne hun dred yards of us that I awoke and looked out. Like a destroying de mon, bent on our annihilation, seem ed the terrible engine. Its wheels were running in a reverse direction, but under the fearful force it had previously acquired, it would no lon ger obey the motion of the wheels. It was sliding onward to destroy us, and at times the wheels, fixed upon the track, and balanced be tween the two forces, one urging the locomotive forward, the Other endeavoring to pull it back, tore from the rails a stream of fire. Then the reversing force wTd whirl them round for a moment with the* most awful rapidity.: I rushed toward the hind end of the car with the design of leaping out. By this time the monster be hind us had nearly reached the end of. the car. The . next instant bur train was struck and bounded for ward for a few feet, as if shot from a cannon, still, however, remaining upon the track. We struck again, and this* time our car, and I know not how many others, was thrown entirely from the mils. The fear ful spreed at which we had been’go iug in our endeavor to escape the pursuing engine now insured our destruction. A mad rush on ward of about twenty feet, a dreadful sound as we ripped up the rails and EDITORS AND ties underneath us; then 5 a lurch, hurling us! with fearful VTdlSnce from one side of the car to. the oth er; and the huge box in which we were confined rolling and tumbling down mto a gorge of the" Cumber land Mountains. During the few seconds of the de scent before the stroke, the whole dread reality of the situation stood like an awful picture before my eyes. I felt palpably that the next instant I should piobably be a mass of quiv ering, shapeless flesh; yet, strange to say, I did not, as many are said to do under such circumstances, recall my past life, nor did I bestow a thought upon the future; all the faculties of my soul were concen trated in the awful present. The crash came; a bump and a roU, and all was still. There was no light in the car, and the absolute dark ness into which we were plunged, the wailing and moaning of those who wereuurt, the sickening smell of flesh human blood, the fearful unceartainly as to the fate of those on hoard whom you love, the con sciousness that the next instant you yourself might be crushed to atoms, all these things formed an awful combination of horrors. There was another crash above us; again the car turned over, but that last turn of our car raised in my mind the idea that the whole of the following train, with its locomotive, might come down and grind us all to powder. Then came the burning, hoping almost despairing desire to get outside of the ruined car. Dashing through a glass door, 1 finally emerged from the car. Let me tell you what I saw. The acci dent had taken place upon an em bankment. The two passenger cars of our train had rolled down about 60 feet, finally resting against the trees. The locomotive which had run into us had passed on with sev eral of its cars, not leaving the track. Four of them had tumbled oft the other side ot the embankment from us. One had rolled down on. our side, just ahead of our two passen ger cars. Another was resting with its fore end upon the top of the car in which I rode, its wheels thrust into our car, its hind end resting against the embankment, about haff-way down to our car, and thus actually forming an immense bridge, under which a man could walk upright. For the apace of thirty or forty feet where the car had run after lea ving the rails, and before tumbling down the embankment, their was not a single tie or rail remaining, nothing but the rough stones which had formed the ballasting of the road. When lights were procured, there were found two score bruised, cut, lacerated and stunned; hut, strange to say, not one person, so far as I could learn, was killed outright! So wonderful seemed our preserva tion that I think no one tailed to attribute it to the gracious inter position of Almighty God, and to return to Him-—some perhaps for the first time in their lives—hearty, earnest, fervent thanks. ' For Every Body.—Let the busi ness of every body aloue, and at tend to your own. Don’t buy what you don’t want. Use every hour to advantage, and study to make leisure hours useful.

Find recreation in looking after business, so that it will not be neg lected in loooking' afterrecreation. Buy low, sell fair and take bare, of the profits. Look over your books regularly and if you find an error trace it out. Should a stroke of misfortune come upon you in trade retrench, work hard,: but never fly the track. Confront difficulties with unflinch ing perseverance, and they will die at last; though you should fail in the struggle, you will be honored— but shrink from the task and you will be despised. ; ■ BSsL.
